What's New at ways-to-relieve-stress.com

It's been a few months since my last posting but for good reason. I've been busy discovering a whole new way of looking at stress management which has me popping! Here's a glimpse of what I'm talking about (taken from my new homepage)...

The Power of Stress... At Your Service

In my opinion, all experiences of emotional or mental “stress” are the result of focusing on what is not wanted… and then having no clue as to what to do with that energy. What we normally try do is get rid of it somehow, either by the use of substances or distraction techniques.

You must realise that the stress you experience as a result of focusing on what you don't want holds a lot of power invested by you and that power can be returned to you, thereby rendering the situation you don't want powerless.

If you've come to this blog for a quick fix to relieve stress related to money, relationships, work, study, parenting, health, or any other "problem", unfortunately you won't find that here (because you're probably already using coping mechanisms such as eating, drinking, shopping, etc)... but if you're willing to go on a treasure hunt you will find much more.

From my own experience I can share with you that my coping mechanisms in the past were "phasing out" or not being present, cigarette smoking, sedating myself with comfort food (mostly chocolate) and more recently, distracting myself with movies. I didn't realise that what I was doing was pushing down the energy I'd created for myself to actually change the situation. When I really "got" that I could see how I'd been sabotaging myself because in doing that I was no longer under acute tension and I resigned myself once again to the situation until the next time the stresses reared up, once again sedating myself and the cycle continuing. As painful as this was for me, I had thought that I needed to get rid of the stress, but I now see it as a gift and one that I would like for you to see as a gift also.

There are products on my website that will help you to create more serenity and fun in your life. However, I want to help you to empower your life and to ensure your success I have set up a unique coaching pilot. To be eligible to take part in this pilot a degree of focus is required, as well as commitment and courage, and you will be uncomfortable a lot of the time, but if you work with me as your coach you will eventually welcome that discomfort because you will learn that it means another opportunity to reclaim more of your creative power.

Life becomes a game, as it was always meant to be.
